Why Cub Cadet Chipper engine fails to start?
- NNatalie WilliamsJul 30, 2025
The Cub Cadet Chipper engine might fail to start due to several reasons. It could be that the throttle lever is not in the correct starting position; move it to the FAST or START position. The spark plug wire might be disconnected; connect it to the spark plug. If equipped, the choke might not be in the CHOKE position; move the choke lever to the CHOKE position. The fuel tank could be empty or contain stale fuel; fill it with clean, fresh gasoline. If equipped, the engine might not be primed; prime it as instructed in the Engine Manual. A faulty spark plug could be the cause; clean, adjust the gap, or replace it. The fuel line might be blocked; clean the fuel line. Lastly, the engine might be flooded; wait a few minutes to restart, but do not prime.
